Which Green Energy "Company" will go under next?

The Heritage Foundation has compiled a list of the Green Energy Scams that were financially blessed by Barry, Bringer Of Light.
The ones with asterisks are the ones that have already gone under. The others are still a few laps from the drain. Amuse yourself with betting pools, setting the over/under, and guessing how much money each company donated to Barry's election.

The dollar amounts reflect the amount that was offered to each CEO, not what was actually accepted. This amount doesn't include any state, county, or city graft. Don't worry about the CEO's of the bankrupt companies, their children, or their homes. Seriously. I have a feeling that they'll get by....

Why people are still confused about the failure of the $700 billion stimulus remains a mystery. Barack Obama couldn't pick the winner of The Atlanta Falcons vs. The North Sunflower Academy Rebels.

Enjoy ! Unlike the comps you might sometimes get in Vegas, you aren't playing with "house" money. This time the house is playing with your money. Might as well have fun watching them blow it.
